I was thinking of using an amplifier for amateur radio use like the following
http://www.elecraft.com/KPA500/KPA500.htm
The cost is in the neighborhood of $3000
and the documentation is very complete and downloadable in PDF form.
It is true that is designed to operate only on certain bands, but it might give you a starting point.
Here is another company
http://www.ameritron.com/
And another one

Aye! $40K is a bit 'dear' for a signal generator --- that sounds like an 'industry targeted' price... Have you tried 'pulling' a few model NOs then searching Ebay?

Good idea! -- Additionally you may wish to look at Ameritron's ATR-30 2kW 'transmatch/atenna tuner' (i.e. adjustable impedance matching network)

Best regards and good luck!

Basically I want to apply the output of this RF amplifier for testing of a Piezoelectric device

What sort of test? If it's simply a "does it vibrate or not" test, then using the piezo in a self-resonant oscillator as HP suggests above is the easiest solution.

 

we use simiolar amps here in systems for non destructive test of composite aircraft parts, the ultra sonic energy is supplied by 8 irf 840's iin push pull paralell to a piezo transducer and the ultra sonic energy is dirrectede to the part under test by a jet of water. dont really have many tubes around here any more.
the ultrasonic amp uses about 300 volts dc as a supply for the mosfets.

 

I have a signal generator with specifications of 1Hz-15MHz and voltage rating of 10 Vp-p. How can I use this resource to generate the same 10 MHz and Voltage of 100 V using this available resource. Can I use HF transformer to multiply the voltage source?

Of course, however, assuming you're referring to a 'standard' signal generator, you'll have very little power to start with (<20 dBm [100mw]) and even less following transformation losses...

No Hypatia, actually to get a perfect and required amplitude, the minimum required voltage supply is nearly 100V. Thats why I am facing the problem of generating 100 V and 10 MHz.
So if any one can suggest me how can I use the available resource and get the required specifications.

Perhaps you misunderstood my response? -- Although the output amplitude of a standard signal generator may be transformed to 100V, the power will remain extremely low and, hence, inapplicable to your purposes --- IOW while the (post transformation) amplitude may be 100V, it will drastically decrease upon (scant) loading...

So if any one can suggest me how can I use the available resource and get the required specifications.

If you wish to use the signal generator you will need follow it with an active amplifier (do pardon the redundancy) -- To render a rather strained expression; "there's no such thing as a free lunch"

Quantitative advice requires quantitative data -- For starters; how much power (or current) is required to test the device?

You might be able to use an Apex PA107DP to boost the voltage and power. Pricy though. $413 each.
https://www.apexanalog.com/apex-products/pa107/
https://octopart.com/search?q=PA107DP&start=0

An evaluation kit is available for about $185. Obviously you have to supply your own PA107DP at that price...

If you ask real nicely you might get a Rep to 'sample' one out to you!

How about starting with an older Motorola low band 100 watt base station.

Or.... 250 Watts

Trouble with the vintage PS/Business Motorola gear (including the mobile units e.g. Motrac, Mocom, Mitrek, etc...) lies in the fact that the minimum frequency of operation (even for 'low band' equipment) falls in the 6 meter (i.e. 50MHz) area... Too bad! Those rigs are bullet proof!

PS: (Re: Mocom -- Surely those SOE RF power PNPs are collectable? Perhaps I should fashion necklaces of them for sale at Dayton? )

Ya, I know, just thinking for 200 bucks he would get the power supply and most of the components he needed. Been a while since I rebuilt a power amp but am thinking it could be made to work. The exciter and other components wouldn't do him much good other than cannibalizing for parts.

 

Thanks, @Papabravo! --- I wanted to say the same thing - howbeit, having been thrice accused of being 'born with the silver spoon in my mouth' I was a bit 'shy' --- Seriously @Basudeb Behera we're talking pennies! Moreover, as I'm certain you realize, money is as nothing by comparison with time!

With friendly intent

How could anybody think you were born with the silver spoon!

I stand by my sentiment! Parsimony is the antithesis of alacrity and as inexcusable as all (other) 'species' of hypocrisy! --- That said, in the rare case that someone is literally not possessed of the required funds -- by all means - 'kludge away'!!!
